What is this?

This is a collection of 100 of the best keygen songs of all time in my subjective opinion. It's a mixture of iconic keygen music and more obscure tracks that represent keygen music and its many diverse sub-genres. All tracks recorded using XMPlay. Each song is appropriately tagged, and the metadata contains a comment pointing to their current website (if they're still active), or an archive of their work (if they aren't).

Why is this?

While tracker music is quite well-preserved, it's an obscure subculture which is quite hard to penetrate. Many artists do not upload their old tracks (or any of their tracks) to modern streaming services, and unofficial recordings are often in low quality. Listening to the original module files as they were intended to be heard requires software such as XMplay or Fasttracker II which only runs on Windows. Therefore, this collection is supposed to make it easy to listen to keygen music on your phone, music player, or via your media server. It also provides a nice introduction for newcomers to the genre.

Notes on authorship

Wherever possible, I have tried to track down the original author or each track, attribute them correctly, and provide a link to their website(s) where possible. To my knowledge, none of the music in this collection is currently being sold by the original author, although some of it is being given away for free. This collection lists music by title and author rather than the keygen that it was found in. However, it's not always easy to piece together where the music came from and who wrote it, so please let me know of any mistakes.
